SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 618,797, dated January31, 1899;

Application filed September 9, 1898. Serial No. 690,564. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES A. IVIANROW, a citizen of the United States,residing at Goshen, in the county of Elkhart and State of Indiana, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in a Combined Roof Cornice andGutter, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a combined sheet metal cornice and gutter forthe eaves of buildings; and its object is to provide an improvedconstruction of the same which will present an ornamental appearance andwill effectually carry off water and prevent snow from sliding off of aroof to the ground.

The invention consists in the novel construction and combination ofparts hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective View showingrnyimproved cornice and gutter applied to a roof. Fig. 2 is a transversesectional view of the cornice and gutter. Fig. 3 is a detail perspectiveview showing the end plate.

In the said drawings the reference-numeral 1 designates the inclinedroof of an ordinary building, to the eaves of which the cornice andgutter are secured.

The numeral 2 designates the cornice, preferably made of galvanized ironand comprising the inclined portion 3, which rests on the roof, thecurved ornamental portion at, the

upwardly and inwardly extending portions 5 and 6, the latter of whichhas its edge turned upwardly and then downwardly, forming a verticalflange 7. The lower edge of the inclined portion 3 is bent at a rightangle, forming a portion 8, which engages with the eave, and its edge isbent upwardly, forming a flange 9, which overlaps the cave, to which itis secured by rivets or other fastening devices.

.The numeral 10 designates the gutter, consisting of a curved metalplate or piece of sheet metal having its lower edge bent downwardly,forming a flange 12, which engages with the flange at the upper edge ofthe cornice and is secured thereto by rivets or other also formed ofsheet metal, having a down- I wardly-extending portion 14, which abutsagainst the inclined portion of the cornice and is also curved toconform to the shape of the ornamental portion of the cornice. Theseportions of said plate have their edges bent inwardly, forming flanges15, which overlap the ends of the cornice and are secured thereto in anyconvenient manner.

The numeral 16 designates brackets secured to the outer side of thecornice at suitable distances apart to strengthen the same.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim is- In a combinedmetal cornice and gutter for buildings, the combination with the cornicecomprising the inclined portion having the lower end bent downwardly andinwardly, overlapping the edge of the roof and then extended upwardly'and formed with ornamental convolutions and the upper end bent upwardlyand then downwardly forming a double flange, and the roofing-platescurved upwardly forming a gutter and the ends bent downwardlyoverlapping the double flange, of the end plates conforming to thecontour of the gutter-having forward extensions lead ing tothe front ofthe cornice and rearward extensions extending back of the-gutter, theinwardly-extending flange at the lower side of said plates extendingfrom end to end thereof and overlapping the edge of the roof and thelower ends formed with flanges overlapping the ends of the cornice,substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twosubscribing witnesses.

CHARLES A. MANROW.
